@jd:body

<p>In addition to the <a href="community-groups.html">Android developer forums</a>, you can participate in the Android developer community through IRC and you can follow us on Twitter. </p>

<h3 id="irc">IRC</h3>

<p>Several IRC channels are available for discussions about developing Android applications.</p>

<table>
<tr>
  <th>Channel</th><th>Host</th><th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td>#android</td>
  <td>irc.freenode.net</td>
  <td>General discussion about Android (and Android development).</td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td>#android-dev</td>
  <td>irc.freenode.net</td>
  <td>Discussion focused on developing Android apps.</td>
</tr>
</table>

<p>If you haven't used IRC before, check <a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IRC_clients">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
List_of_IRC_clients &raquo;</a> for a helpful list of IRC clients. Alternatively, you could also use
this <a href="http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=android-dev">web interface &raquo;</a>, which
does not require any installation, to join discussions on the Android IRC channels.  </p>

<p>Here are some tips for using IRC:</h4>

<ul>
<li>Set your nickname before you join the channel.</li>
<li>Registering your nickname prevents others from using your nickname or impersonating you later:
<pre class="no-pretty-print" style="width:50%;">/nick &lt;yournickname&gt;
/msg nickserv register &lt;password&gt; &lt;email&gt;</pre>
<p>Afterwards, when you connect, you'll need to supply a password:</p>
<pre class="no-pretty-print" style="width:50%;">/connect irc.freenode.net
/nick &lt;yournickname&gt;
/msg nickserv identify &lt;password&gt;
/join #android-dev</pre>
</li>
</ul>
